Subject: Re: OT: Financial Planner

I briefly (a couple of years) gave a portion of my investments to a local FA. I stopped it because it just annoyed me paying 1% a year. I did it originally to avoid having all my eggs in one basket (me!).

In your case it might be how much are you worth hourly and how many hours it would take for you to do the financial work and compare that to how much you are making at your job/company.
